Hello all,
A long while back, I was talking to an AFOL about mosaics and he said he had
wanted to create one in transparent bricks. I thought, “gee that would be
cool”, but I don’t own *that* many trans bricks.
Then magically, I ended up with a pile of Trans pink 1 x 2, I got to thinking
about creating a stained window to use them up. So I pinched his idea and
ran with it.
Well apparently I got addicted, and that one panel (the Iris) has become a 6
panelled window (although eventually when *truly* completed it will be 15
panels). The representation of the provincial flowers are simple due to
limitation in size and brick selection, yet the effect is fairly convincing.

Wow, very nice. I loved the two panes you had at BF2004, it just keeps getting
better. Not sure what a Provincial flower is though, guess I’ll have to Google
it later :)
